KARACHI: Former Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim on Thursday took the media by surprise when he announced that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari would soon join the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.

Addressing the media outside the Sindh Assembly, Rahim quipped about the possible scenario, while reminding the media about Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) chief Pir Pagara's prediction of Bilawal leaving his inherited party for the N-League.

He also stressed that the stance of the Muttahida Quami Movement and PML-F would remain same for the benefit of Sindh.

Earlier, reports of an alleged rift between the President Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal began to surface after Bilawal reportedly decided against addressing PPP workers on Foundation Day because of his differences with PPP’s central leaders regarding the party’s stance vis-à-vis the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), PPP officials told The Express Tribune.

To me, it seems like it’s all part of the plan for Zardari family. They’re spreading strategic runners to present that Bilawal has a strong personality and can take bold decisions. At the moment, parting ways from his father and some other failed PPP politicians only makes him look better in public eyes. In conclusion, Zardari family is playing a very clever game to continue the politics of Zardari.

The statement reminds me of two personalities; Late Pir Pagara and Mulla Nasruddin, a famous character.

Mr. Arbab Rahim; Who is your ideal??
